Here is what I did. I did both my 67 Ramp truck and the 68 step side. I put tilt columns in both though. It shouldn't matter though.

I ordered the union for a 3/4" 36 spline round shaft with 3/4" DD end and installed it. You cut the DD end to fit the column to rag joint. Very easy and simple.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
